Recipe Tips
- Go Room Temp: Make sure your ingredients are completely at room temperature, especially your cream cheese. If not, you will have a lumpy filling and not a smooth filling.
- Get Ripe Banana: That sweet flavor makes such a difference in the blondie.

Hai there. I love baking! the first thing that I will do if I won is just bake bake and BAKE! 😀 I love cookies and cakes especially chocolate cake and I will definitely bake it!
I need a new hand mixer since my current one is older than my adult children. If I won this I’d make a Red Velvet cake with it.
Wow, these look beautiful, and delicious! I really love your blog.
If I were lucky enough to win, I would first make lemon gooey butter cookies for my boys. They really love them!
It looks amazing! I might tweak it and try it with another fruit…
Hmm first thing I would make would be in singers. Nice citrus flavor for the spring/summer season. My soul coming always leads me to pound cake. My family knows when a phone cake is in the oven mommy has been doing some thinking.
I would try out some new recipes for a wedding cake order!
These Banana Pudding Cheesecake Blondies look possible, but I’d let my 8yo DD decide since she’s always asking to bake something. She made a spice cake a couple weeks ago and was so proud of herself (she did everything but put in and take out of the oven).
Chocolate chip cookies, then those amazing looking bars
Oh probably those delicious looking Pineapple upside-down pancakes of yours! Cause I’m not waiting to make these, my hubby and oldest son are going to flip when they hear about these. Their 2 favorite desserts rolled into one, whaaaaaaaaaat! Ty for all that you do!
Great giveaway, thanks for the chance to win.
